Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodriguez, called on Wednesday for dialogue with the United States, which they asked to renounce its plans to blockade the Caribbean island.
The document adopted at the 39th Ordinary Session that concluded this Sunday includes, for the third time, the AU’s explicit call to remove the Caribbean nation from the unilateral and unjustified list of countries allegedly sponsoring terrorism, stressing the arbitrary nature of this designation.
The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, today thanked the government and people of Mexico, and especially President Claudia Sheinbaum, for sending humanitarian aid to the island.
The Kremlin confirmed this Thursday that it is holding talks with Cuba to finalize shipments of oil and petroleum products to the island, in a context marked by the tightening of the economic blockade imposed by the United States for more than half a century.
